Project-level and layout-level resources

Some resources are defined at the project level, and others are defined at the layout level.


Project-level resources

Project-level resources can be used by every layout in the project, and they are the same in every layout where they are used. Project-level resources include application preferences, style sheets, colors, H&Js, lists, dashes and stripes, cascading menus (Web layouts only), meta tags (Web layouts only), and menus (Web layouts only).

Note: Although every list definition you create can be used in any layout in the project, a list only draws from the active layout when you build it.

Layout-level resources

Layout-level resources can be unique for every layout in the project. Layout-level resources include the following:

  • Layout preferences (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > Layout or Web Layout)
  • Kerning settings (Utilities > Tracking Edit) (Print layouts only)
  • Tracking settings (Utilities > Kerning Table Edit) (Print layouts only)
  • Hyphenation exceptions (Utilities > Hyphenation Exceptions)
  • Trapping settings (Window > Show Trap Information) (Print layouts only)
  • Zoom values
